Hadith.5232 - And Imam (as) said regarding ten people who collectively participated in killing a man: "The heirs of the murdered person may choose whichever one of them they wish to execute, and the heirs of the executed person can then seek compensation from the remaining nine for nine-tenths of the blood money (diyyah)."
5232 - وَ قَالَ: فِي عَشَرَةٍ اِشْتَرَكُوا فِي قَتْلِ رَجُلٍ قَالَ "يَتَخَيَّرُ أَهْلُ اَلْمَقْتُولِ فَأَيُّهُمْ شَاءُوا قَتَلُوهُ وَ يَرْجِعُ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ عَلَى اَلْبَاقِينَ بِتِسْعَةِ أَعْشَارِ اَلدِّيَةِ".
